while I like some of the promises that NN supporters claim we will have I remember back to the highly regulated days of where ISDN was all that was offered outside of pricey T1 lines and only because of lack of regulation did competition arise to give me the day when I now have 1G internet.
Even getting ISDN installed was an absolute bear and I gave up while another stuck with it. Modems were fortunately getting faster but DSL didn't come to us till after cable did.
We are just as likely to get a regulated nightmare guaranteeing mediocre speeds and service at set costs the prevents anyone from wanting to jump in. Besides I really want to know why we should favor content providers over service providers? If you are going to regulate one then why not the other?
- chc 9y agoI'm not sure how we'd go about treating content providers as dumb pipes. What are you proposing there?
